| Best DACs under $7,000.00 The GAN1 did not sound anything like this to me, but I only had 12 hours on mine. On my well broken in LS50 Meta speakers the sound was a little rolled off and not as clear as my Benchmark stack. The Benchmark stack is likely considered too neutra... | |
| Best amp for Salon 2 Krell Solo 575 XD Mono-Block For Sale | Audiogon Krell Duo 300 XD Stereo Power Amplifier; S... For Sale | Audiogon I was going to pull the trigger on the 575XD mono blocks listed above. I recently owned 2 lower powered variants of that same new ... | |
| Favourite Guitarists A newcomer that had a good debut and not so interesting follow-up is Tash Sultana from Australia. She is a one-woman band. | |
| Your thoughts/experience with very good, cheap tuners? I have the Sony XDR-FI HD that was modded by the XDR guy. It has the best reception of all my tuners. I do not use this tuner much anymore. It sounds best with a really good RCA cable. I used Audience AU24SE. I may sell this unit. I bought a r... | |
| Favourite Guitarists My fav’s at the moment. Players I have to stop and listen to the guitar parts: - Johnny Marr - Eddie Van Halen - Ernie Isley (I think he learned from Hendrix) | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta One thing I know is that using the word science does not make a statement scientific. Just as Tony the Tiger says, the voices in my head also say that the mods are gggGREAT! I finished setting up my Fibre optical streaming in my Family room where... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Let me give Ric a bit of support on these comments by saying that I had the brand-new stock LSA Voyager 350 GAN amp. It was pretty good as stock and I heard it for the first 200 hours with my Thiel CS3.7 (sold), KEF LS50 non-meta, and RAAL SR1a. ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Well, my GAN1 is now gone for 1 or 2 months while Ric does his thing. I won’t be acclimated to it when I get it back. It won’t be a apples-to-apples comparison because I know it will be better than stock from the mods. However, the rolled off qual... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have been informed that the rolled of nature of the GAN1 that I described is something that another owner heard but it went away after more hours. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs Ric, the amp is on the way for Wednesday delivery. I also sent you my RAAL SR1a earphone and RAAL adapter box for you to hear. I also have the second-best headphone cable for the earphone in the box. I do not connect speakers (option ava... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs If you want the amp, I can send it up to you. If you get back to me before 4PM I can send it today. However, I am going to stick with the SR1a for the GAN1 and not my 2-channel gear. I am going to setup the fibre steaming in my family room... | |
| Musetec Audio MH-DA005 ES9038 Pro x2 DAC VS the Lab12 dac1 reference Tube Hybrid Dac The Musetic is a slight warm and slightly smooth DAC. If you have a very warm system, it may be too much of a good thing. I have 2 Musetec 005’s so I like it, but I use it wth neutral gear. Two Benchmark LA4 preamps, Benchmark AHB2 amp, and CODA #... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta It is 3AM no and I got kicked off my ROON server. I force the server to shutdown automatically so that I have to go to sleep. I had a great listen with the SR1a headphones. My intuition about synergy of the GAN1 + SR1a was correct. Let me first a... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta The amp has opened up a lot and now the bass is comparable to my AHB2. That is using the WyWire speaker cables that are exaggerating the bass. The GAN1 is now doing the same thing (that is good). I still think the GAN1 is still a little more laid... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @donnylovely Yes, I think you mentioned it previously on this thread. I did some research on this and now I forgot what the heck I learned. I will re-visit that later today. I did get in a second set of Audience AU24 SX speaker cables today, thou... |
